We'll go from 32 candidates to one winner in one week, and here's how it will work.

First-round voting will take place Tuesday, from 6 a.m to 6 p.m.

Sixteen winners will advance to the second round, and then we'll do it all again at the same time Wednesday And so on until the final four pits an actor against an artist, and someone from the entertainment regional against an athlete.

We'll do a round a day, and by the end of Friday be down to two final contenders. Then we'll return Monday morning for the final ballot.
